Zombie Lake is a multi-national band, hailing from both Sweden and the USA. Vocalist Martin Missy and crew deliver a brand of thrash-laced metal fairly close to an old-school Sodom vibe. The ten tracks of Plague Of The Undead are an aural feast, at least instrumentally. Atonal growling vocals are …

Michigan’s General Bastard (a.k.a Dean Carls) released an 11-song album, Revolution Rock, chock full of old-school punk rock attitude.

‘Quarter to Freedom’ is the sixth studio album from German band Mallet.  They’ve also released three live albums, but over a 30 year period that’s still only one studio album every five years on average – clearly a band that doesn’t want to rush things.  Of the current lineup, only …
